Up-Down plans to restrict their patrons to persons over the age of 21 after 8:00 pm

Proposed hours of operation are 3pm to 2:30am.

The 2:30 closing time is obviously kind of interesting. Food service stops at 1 and of course booze stops at 2. Do they really anticipate enough revenue from games to justify being open an extra half hour? Or is this more of decision to be known as the place that won't kick you out right at 2?

Overall I just think people don't want to go to large mass scale restaurant in new large buildings especially in uptown. Divide scena into 2-3 boutique restaurants catering to specific demographics and I think it could suceed.

I heard from a barber in the area that he thought the former Falafel King space was going to become a gay bar. Though that was at least 6 months ago, and clearly no work is going on in that space. Aside from painting the building green and (mostly) demolishing the old Falafel King interior, nothing more has happened. So who knows...
